CALLS  FOR  WORKERS  FROM  MISSION  ROARDS 

) 

Compiled  by  JOSEPH  C.  ROBBINS 
Candidate  Secretary,  Student  Volunteer  Movement 

The  present  world  situation  places  larger  responsibility  than  ever  before  for 
world  evangelization  upon  the  United  States  and  Canada.  It  is  to  the  students 
of  North  America  that  the  Church  must  turn  at  this  time  for  the  men  and  women 
who  are  to  be  the  messengers  of  Christianity  and  brotherhood  to  the  non-Chris¬ 
tian  nations  of  the  world.  These  times  demand  of  us  real  courage,  deep  consecra¬ 
tion  and  high  faith.  The  following  words  of  Dr.  Speer  should  come  with  great 
force  to  every  American  Christian  and  every  American  college  student  at  this 
critical  time  in  the  world’s  history^  .  .  ^  ,  ,, 

We  hope  that  this  war  situation  will  recall  the  church  to  the  sacrificial  principle 

•  •  _  •I  U  '  r  'I-  ■  ,  - 

of  missions.  The  church  as  a  whole  has  never  done  anything  sacrificial,  '  Individual  Chris¬ 
tians  have  followed  Christ,  but  the  church,  as  Duff  said,  has  played  'with  missions.  An 
average  of  a  few  dimes  a  year  from  each  member  has  represented  the  measure  of  her 
missionary  giving  and  now  there  are  some  who  doubt  whether  the  church  can  continue 
to  do  even  this.  .  .  .  What  warrant  have  we  in  a  time  of  distress  for  making  Christ  and 
his  causes  suffer  first?  Our  fathers  did  not  do  this  in  the  infinitely  darker  days  of  the 
Civil  War.  They  rose  then  to  a  greater  fidelity.  Some  of  our  foreign  missionary  organi¬ 
zations  were  born  then.  Others  sent  out  during  the  war  the  greatest  companies  of  re¬ 
enforcements  they  had  ever  sent.  Missionary  incomes  in  some  cases  not  only  held  their 
own  but  increased.  The  war  which  now  shadows  the  world  and  the  sacrifices  which  are 
willingly  made  in  it  should  shame  our  timidity  and  our  tame  trifling  with  duty,  and  call  us 
to  deal  with  life  as  a  reality  and  with  the  work  of  Christ  in  the  world  as  worth  more  devo¬ 
tion  than  national  honor  or  commercial  advantage  or  racial  pride.  Every  soldier  dying  for 
his  country  on  a  European  battlefield,  every  home  giving  up  its  blood  and  tears,  is  a  sum¬ 
mons  and  a  reproach  to  us  men  and  women  who  have  accepted  the  Christ  of  the  Cross  but 
not  the  Cross  of  Christ.  If  they  have  counted  their  cause  above  their  lives  and  their  every 
possession,  why  not  we?  What  they  freely  yield  to  their  lords  of  war  and  death  shall  not 
Christians  give  with  joy  to  their  Lord  of  Life  and  Peace? 

The  Foreign  Mission  Boards  of  the  United  States  and  Canada  are  facing  the 
present  critical  situation  with  constructive  and  courageous  faith.  It  is  possible 
that  a  few  missionaries  may  be  held  in  America  oh  account  of  the  European  war, 
but  these  Foreign  Mission  Boards  are  in  no  way  suspending  operations  but  are 
now  calling  for  new  missionaries  for  work  abroad.  The  spirit  of  the  Mission 
Boards  and  of  the  Student  Volunteers  is  such  that  the  present  difficulties  will 
deepen  their  sense  of  responsibility  for  the  evangelization  of  the  world  in  this 
generation. 

In  the  pages  which  follow  are  given  the  facts  regarding  openings  for  which 
qualified  men  and  women  are  needed  by  the  Mission  Boards  of  the  United  States 
and  Canada  which  had  been  received  at  the  time  this  pamphlet  was  printed.  If 
the  reader  does  not  find  his  own  Board  in  the  list,  he  should  not  conclude  that  his 
Board  does  not  need  qualified  candidates.  Student  Volunteers  who  have  com¬ 
pleted  their  preparation,  or  soon  will  do  so,  are  earnestly  urged  to  apply  to  their 
Boards  for  appointment.  The  names  and  addresses  of  Secretaries  to  whom  cor¬ 
respondence  should  be  addressed  will  be  found  on  another  page.

THE  QUALIFICATION  AND  PREPARATION  FOR 
FOREIGN  MISSIONARY  SERVICE 


The  missionary  enterprise  with  its  world  field,  its  comprehensive  program, 
and  its  emphasis  on  thoroughness  of  preparation  and  spiritual  prerequisites,  makes 
concrete  and  definite  the  qualifications  and  preparation  desirable  for  foreign  mis¬ 
sionary  service. 

First  of  all,  the  missionary  candidate  must  be  possessed  and  dominated  by  a 
direct  and  personal  faith  in  Jesus  Christ  as  his  own  Saviour  and  Lord. 

The  same  general  qualifications  in  candidates  are  requisite  which  are  justly 
esteemed  to  be  the  conditions  of  success  at  home :  an  unimpaired  physical  consti¬ 
tution;  good  intellectual  ability,  well  disciplined  by  education,  and  if  possible  by 
practical  experience;  good  sense;  sound  judgment  of  men  and  things;  capacity 
for  leadership;  versatility,  tact,  adaptation  to  men  of  all  classes  and  circumstances  ; 
a  cheerful,  hopeful  spirit ;  ability  to  work  pleasantly  with  others ;  ability  to  yield 
to  the  will  of  the  majority;  persistent  energy  in  the  carrying  out  of  plans  once 
begun — all  controlled  by  a  single-hearted,  self-sacrificing  devotion  to  Christ  and 
1 1  is  cause. 

The  candidate  should  sustain  a  good  character  among  those  who  know  him. 
Any  gross  neglect  of  duty,  any  transaction  that  has  brought  him  under  suspicion, 
is  a  disqualification,  as  it  might,  should  he  enter  the  missionary  service,  bring  re¬ 
proach  upon  the  cause. 

Since  the  missionary  should  embody  Christianity  in  all  his  ways,  it  should  go 
without  saying  that  he  should  be  a  person  of  culture  and  refinement,  neat  as  to 
his  person  and  clothing,  and  possessing  the  ordinary  social  graces. 

For  nearly  all  of  these  positions  graduates  of  college,  normal,  professional  or 
other  training  schools  are  required.  There  are  exceptions  in  the  case  of  practical 
printers,  stenographers,  business  managers,  etc.,  where  actual  experience  takes 
the  place  of  college  education. 

The  Foreign  Mission  Boards  have  no  hard  and  fast  rule  as  to  age  limit.  The 
majority  of  missionaries  should  reach  their  fields  before  they  are  thirty  as  after 
this  age  it  is  more  difficult  to  acquire  the  free  colloquial  use  of  a  foreign  language. 
Men  and  women  older  than  tljirty  are  often  accepted,  however,  when  they  are 
unusually  well  qualified  by  training  and  experience  for  the  work  abroad. 

All  candidates  who  expect  to  be  engaged  mainly  in  teaching  should  not  only 
be  thoroughly  prepared  by  their  scholarly  attainments  and  intellectual  discipline, 
but  should  have  shown  special  fitness  by  their  success  in  actual  service,  not  only  in 
the  general  work  of  teaching,  but  in  molding  character,  shaping  the  minds  and 
hearts  of  their  pupils. 

A  missionary  physician  should  have  both  a  collegiate  and  a  medical  education, 
and  this  should  be  supplemented  by  at  least  one  year’s  experience  as  interne  or  as¬ 
sistant  in  a  hospital  or  its  equivalent  in  actual  practice.  He  should  be  prepared  to 
make  his  professional  knowledge  and  skill  directly  suhservient  to  the  furtherance 
of  the  Gospel. 

The  foregoing  qualifications  are  re(|uisite  in  women  candidates,  whether  mar¬ 
ried  or  unmarried,  so  far  as  applicable  to  their  sphere  of  labor  and  their  peculiar 
circumstances.  It  is  ordinarily  expected  that  unmarried  women  missionaries  who 
intend  to  engage  in  teaching  or  Bible  work  will  have  a  full  collegiate  or  normal

course,  and  also  one  or  two  years’  experience  in  the  schoolroom  or  in  some  form 
of  practical  religious  work.  Practical  knowledge  of  music  and  of  domestic  work 
is  of  great  value. 

Great  diversity  of  talent  is  required.  This  is  illustrated  by  the  following 
statement  of  definite  opportunities,  presented  during  the  past  three  years : 


MEN 

Ordained  Preachers — To  serve  as  evangelists,  to 
organize  native  churches,  to  teach  in  theological 
seminaries,  and  to  preach  to  English-speaking  con¬ 
gregations. 

Teachers — ;English,  French,  German,  music,  math¬ 
ematics,  agriculture,  chemistry,  biology,  physics, 
philosophy,  accounting  and  commerce,  manual  train¬ 
ing,  economics,  history. 

Physicians  and  Surgeons — To  serve  in  hospitals 
and  to  itinerate. 

Engineers — Civil,  mechanical,  electrical,  sanitary, 
mining. 

Physical  Directors — Gymnasium  work. 

Architects  and  Supervising  Builders. 

Business  Managers — -For  mission  stations  and 
colleges. 

Stenographers — To  serve  as  private  secretaries 
and  to  teach  stenography  and  commercial  subjects. 

Printers — As  superintendents  and  foremen  of 
mission  presses. 


WOMEN 

Bible  Teachers  and  Evangelists — To  lead  train¬ 
ing  classes  of  native  women;  to  visit  in  the  homes 
and  zenanas;  to  teach  Bible  in  girls’  schools,  and 
to  itinerate  among  villages. 

Teachers — General  subjects  (in  the  primary,  in¬ 
termediate  and  advanced  grades,  requiring  college 
or  normal  training),  biology,  mathematics,  music. 

Physicians  and  Surgeons — To  serve  in  hospitals 
and  to  itinerate. 

Nurses — To  train  native  workers  where  hospitals 
are  established,  or  to  begin  work  under  primitive 
conditions.

Stenographers. 

Physical  Directors. 

Superintendents — To  have  charge  of  orphanages 
and  student  hostels. 


A  glance  through  the  following  pages  (pages  6  to  36)  will  give  one  an  idea 
of  the  proportionate  number  of  calls  for  men  and  women  of  the  various  profes¬ 
sions.  A  call  to  become  a  missionary  is  at  the  same  time  a  call  to  preparation  for 
service.  It  is  wise,  therefore,  that  a  student  early  in  the  college  course  should 
know  what  forms  of  service  are  most  needed  in  foreign  mission  work,  so  that  if 
possible  preparation  can  be  made  along  these  lines  for  life  service. 

The  period  of  service  varies,  according  to  climate  and  character  of  work, 
from  two  to  seven  years.  The  Mission  Boards  prefer  to  send  out  those  who  plan 
to  make  this  their  life  work,  returning  to  the  field  after  the  expiration  of  regular 
furloughs.  There  are,  however,  calls  for  teachers  in  Christian  and  government 
schools  and  colleges  for  periods  of  two,  three  and  five  years.  Usually  such  posi¬ 
tions  demand  unmarried  men  and  women. 

Salaries  are  based  upon  what  many  years  of  experience  have  shown  to  be 
needed  to  maintain  the  worker  in  the  highest  state  of  efficiency,  and  vary  in  differ¬ 
ent  countries  as  the  cost  of  living  varies.  The  compensation  for  married  men  is 
sufficient  for  the  support  of  their  families.  The  Mission  Boards  make  allowances 
for  traveling  expenses,  outfit,  house  rent,  etc.  Compensation  in  government  posi¬ 
tions  usually  includes  salary  only. 

Literature :  A  list  of  books  and  pamphlets,  especially  prepared  for  those  who 
are  investigating  the  question  of  missionary  service,  is  printed  on  covers  of  this 
pamphlet.  Descriptive  literature  regarding  conditions  in  their  different  fields  may 
be  secured  from  each  Mission  Board. 

The  Student  Volunteer  Movement  does  not  send  out  any  workers.  All  ap¬ 
pointments  are  made  by  the  Boards  in  charge  of  operations  on  the  Various  fields. 
The  names  of  the  Corresponding  Secretaries  will  be  found  on  another  page. 

If  you  have  some  trained  talent  not  included  in  this  list,  and  wish  to  use  it 
in  missionary  work  on  the  foreign  field,  write  to  Mr.  J.  C.  Robbins,  Candidate 
Secretary,  Student  Volunteer  Movement,  25  Madison-  Avenue,  New  York.

MEN  AND  WOMEN  WANTED 


American  Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society 

Secretary  for  Candidate  Correspondence:  Rev.  EMORY  W. 

HUNT,  D.D.,  Ford  Building,  Boston,  Mass. 

The  following  list  represents  needs  on  the  several  mission  fields  which  the  Society 
hopes  to  meet  during  the  next  two  or  three  years — 1915,  16  and  17.  This  list  is  far  from 
representing  the  full  number  that  will  be  needed  to  meet  the  actual  calls  for  reinforcement 
but  has  been  reduced  to  correspond  more  nearly  with  the  resources  available  for  sending 
men  to  the  field.  The  list  is  necessarily  subject  to  revision  in  the  light  of  new  conditions 
that  may  arise.  Correspondence  regarding  any  of  these  needs  is  cordially  invited. 


BURMA 
Ordained  Men 

Ten  or  twelve  ordained  men. 

Permanent  and  temporary  losses  have  so  depleted 
the  missionary  force  that  a  number  of  men  are 
needed  to  fill  vacancies,  several  stations  being  now 
entirely  without  a  resident  missionary.  Other  men 
should  be  sent  to  strengthen  the  working  force  in 
strong  centers,  with  a  view  to  making  the  work 
more  thoroughly  effective.  There  is  a  particular 
need  for  new  workers  among  the  Burmese,  who 
constitute  the  great  bulk  of  the  population,  and  the 
Shans,  who  are  also  strong  Buddhists.  Work 
among  the  Animistic  hill  peoples  should  also  re¬ 
ceive  a  share  of  this  reinforcement. 

Medical  Workers 

One  man  for  medical  work  at  a  frontier 
station. 

He  should  be  earnestly  evangelistic  in  spirit  and 
prepared  to  combine  definite  work  with  his  medical 
service. 

ASSAM 
Ordained  Men 

Five  ordained  men. 

Two  or  three  men  are  ,  needed  for  work  among 
the  Assarnese  and  the  immigrant  peoples  from  penin¬ 
sular  India  in  stations  in  the  plains  along  the  Brah¬ 
maputra  valley.  At  one  station  in  particular  a  man 
with  a  knowledge  of  bookkeeping  and  general  busi¬ 
ness  training  is  needed  to  render  a  special  service 
along  these  lines  in  addition  to  general  evangelistic 
work.  One  man  is  needed  for  work  among  the 
hill  tribes  in  the  extreme  northeast  of  Assam  on 
the  borders  of  Thibet.  One  man  is  needed  for 
work  among  the  Garos  and  one  for  work  among  the 
Nagas,  wild  hill  tribes,  among  whom  Christianity 
has  already  gained  a  strong  foothold. 

Teachers 

A  man  with  special  qualifications  for  edu¬ 
cational  work,  but  able  also  to  share  with 
other  missionaries  in  the  direction  of  general 
evangelistic  work  at  Jorhat. 

The  Jorhat  Christian  schools  emphasize  three 
phases  of  education,  including  a  theological  depart¬ 
ment,  a  high  school  and  an  industrial  department. 

Medical  Workers 

^  One  man  for  medical  work  among  primi¬ 
tive  hill  peoples. 

Industrial  Workers 

One  industrial  worker  needed  for  service 
as  a  mission  builder. 


In  addition  to  a  broad  general  education,  this 
man  should  have  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  prin¬ 
ciples  of  construction  and  practical  experience  in 
building.  Some  knowledge  of  architectural  drawing 
is  exceedingly  desirable.  The  work  will  involve 
preparation  of  plans,  testing  and  purchase  of  build¬ 
ing  materials,  and  the  supervision  of  native  work¬ 
men. 

INDIA 

Ordained  Men 

Ordained  man  for  pastorate  of  English 
church,  Kharagpur,  Bengal. 

The  work  is  among  the  Eurasians,  who  are  large¬ 
ly  employed  in  the  railroad  shops  and  offices,  Khar¬ 
agpur  being  a  railroad  center  of  importance.  The 
work  here  is  unusually  promising.  English  is  the 
language  spoken.  This  need  should  be  met  in  1915. 

Six  to  eight  ordained  men  for  South  India 
for  general  work  among  the  Telugus. 

The  work  will  be  general  station  work,  including 
oversight  of  Telugu  preachers  and  evangelists  and 
village  schools. 

Four  ordained  men  for  general  work  in 
the  Bengal-Orissa  field. 

Several  stations  are  without  resident  missionaries 
and  the  present  workers  are  greatly  overburdened. 
Some  reinforcement  is  immediately  urgent  and  a 
considerable  strengthening  of  the  staff  is  necessary 
before  the  field  now  occupied  can  be  worked  effec¬ 
tively.  The  work  is  in  part  among  Bengali-speaking 
and  in  part  among  Oriya-speaking  Hindus.  Some 
work  is  also  done  for  the  Santals,  one  of  the  hill 
tribes  of  that  section  of  India. 

Agricultural  Specialist 

A  man  specially  trained  along  the  lines  of 
scientific  agriculture  is  needed  to  develop  an 
agricultural  school  with  the  distinct  mission¬ 
ary  purpose  of  promoting  self-support  in  the 
Christian  hamlets  and  among  students  in 
mission  boarding  schools. 

CHINA 
Ordained  Men 

Ten  to  twelve  ordained  men. 

In  carrying  out  the  policy  of  intensive  development 
recently  adopted  it  becomes  necessary  to  place  ■» 
stronger  evangelistic  force  in  each  of  the  three 
general  fields — South,  East  and  West  China.  It  is 
important  not  only  that  the  men  should  be  of  earn¬ 
est  evangelistic  spirit  themselves,  but  they  should  be 
able  to  inspire  and  guide  Chinese  co-workers,  upon 
whom  the  burden  of  responsibility  must  be  laid,  in 
a  steadily  increasing  measure. 


MEN  AND  WOMEN  WANTED

Medical  Workers 

Three  men  for  medical  work. 

In  addition  to  full  medical  training  and  hospital 
experience,  these  rnen  should  have  an  aptitude  for 
teaching,  as  the  training  of  Chinese  medical  assis¬ 
tants  is  becoming  a  more  and  more  important  feat¬ 
ure  of  all  medical  work  in  China. 

AFRICA 
Ordained  Men 

Five  or  six  ordained  men  for  Belgian  and 
Portuguese  Congo. 

This  work  is  among  primitive  peoples  and  much 
of  it  is  of  an  elementary  character.  There  is,  how¬ 
ever,  no  more  important  work  than  that  of  laying 
wisely  the  foundations  of  the  Christian  civilization 
that  is  to  be  among  these  peoples,  and  the  opportuni¬ 
ty  offered  is  unique. 

Teacners 

Two  men  are  required  for  Belgian  Congo. 

One  for  service  in  a  general  school  for  the  train¬ 
ing  of  Christian  workers  and  one  for  the  develop¬ 
ment  of  local  educational  work  and  the  establishment 
and  supervision  of  village  schools.  A  knowledge 


of  the  principles  and  methods  of  elementary  and 
practical  industrial  training  will  contribute  to  a 
much  larger  service. 

Industrial  Workers 

One  man  is  needed  in  Belgian  Congo,  as  a 
mission  builder. 

He  should  have  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the 
principles  of  construction  and  practical  experience  in

ing  materials,  and  the  supervision  of  native  work¬ 
men.

Two  ordained  men  for  work  among  the

mon  policy,  including  division  of  the  field 
for  greater  efficiency.  The  present  political 
turmoil  is  not  permanent,  and  we  must  be¬ 
lieve  settled  conditions  will  bring  the  great¬

Board  of  Foreign  Missions  Presbyterian  Church,  U.  S.  A. 

Secretary  for  Candidate  Correspondence:  Dr.  STANLEY 

WHITE,  156  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York. 

For  the  past  few  years  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in 
the  United  States  of  America  has  been  sending  to  the  field  approximately  100  new  mission¬ 
aries  each  year.  The  following  list  of  definite  opportunities  for  Christian  service  is  made 
up  of  the  most  imperative  needs  of  the  various  missions,  as  just  reported  from  their  Annual 
Mission  Meetings.  The  missions  have  asked  for  three  times  this  number  of  new  mission¬ 
aries,  and  a  secondary  list  is  added  from  which  some  would  be  sent  if  those  specially  qualified 
for  these  needs  present  themselves. 

(Splendid  descriptions  of  conditions  in  each  of  the  fields  occupied  by  Presbyterian  mis¬ 
sionaries  can  be  secured  by  writing  to  Room  501,  Witherspoon  Building,  Philadelphia,  Pa. 
For  each  field  there  is  one  pamphlet  entitled  “Historical  Sketch,”  one  “Medical  Missions,” 
and  one  “Educational.”  In  ordering,  give  name  of  Mission.) 


Primary  List 


WEST  AFRICA  MISSION 

This  mission  occupies  the  shore  of  the 
Gulf  of  Guinea  from  the  equator  to  near 
Kamerun  Bay,  4  degrees  north  latitude,  in¬ 
cluding  the  Island  of  Corisco.  It  also  ex¬ 
tends  east  into  the  interior  over  300  miles 
behind  the  coast  belt  at  Batanga. 

The  natives,  who  are  typical  negroes,  roam 
through  the  forests,  gathering  ebony,  dye-woods, 
etc.,  and  hunting  ivory.  Their  farms  of  plantains, 
cassava,  maize,  sugar-cane,  etc.,  are  made  in  forest 
clearings.  In  the  more  open  country  of  the  far 
interior  are  large,  populous  towns.  The  tribes  are 
very  numerous  and  exceedingly  clannish.  Each  pos¬ 
sesses  its  own  dialect  belonging  to  the  great  Bantu 
family  of  languages.  The  government  of  the  region 
is  nominally  under  foreign  powers — Germany  at  the 
northern  end,  France  at  the  equator,  while  Spain 
controls  Benito  and  the  Island  of  Corisco. 

While  formerly  the  interior  stations  were  reached 
by  walking  through  the  bush  on  narrow  forest  paths, 


there  is  now  a  fine  Government  road  on  which 
automobiles  and  motor-cycles  can  be  and  are  easily 
used,  by  officials  and  missionaries. 

Until  the  missionaries  came  there  was  no  written 
language.^  The  Mpongwe,  Benga,  Dikele,  Fang  and 
Bulu,  which  are  easy  of  acquisition  by  foreigners, 
have  now  been  reduced  to  writing.  French,  German 
and  Spanish  are  taught  in  the  schools  in  the  terri¬ 
tories  governed  by;  those  Governments,  respectively. 
However,  instruction  is  largely  ^iven  in  the  ver¬ 
nacular  as  the  main  dependence  _  in  imparting  spir¬ 
itual  truth.  There  is  no  worship  in  the  proper  sense 
of  that  word.  A  superstition  called  Fetichism  takes 
its  place. 

The  work  is  most  hopeftfl,  the  people  corning  by 
the  thousands  to  the  services,  and  the  missionaries 
being  obliged  to  turn  away  many  from  the  schools. 
Everywhere  are  open  doors. 

Some  of  the  difficulties  include  want  of  effective 
government;  the  natural  indolence  of  the  people; 
unrestricted  domestic  slavery,  which  makes  labor  to 
the  native  distasteful  and  dishonorable;  intemper¬ 
ance,  greatly  promoted^  by  foreign  liquors,  and 
polygamy,  with  all  its  kindred  vices.

MEN  AND  WOMEN  WANTED 


Clerical 

A  minister  to  make  possible  the  opening 
of  work  in  the  region  of  Ojem. 

This  is  the  next  outpost  in  view,  located  135 
miles  south  of  Elat  station  which  has  up  ^  to  this 
time  been  our  most  southern  station  in  the  interior. 
This  point  is  an  objective  for  occupancy  in  the  near 
future  by  the  Roman  Catholic  Missions. 

A  second  minister  to  help  in  Elat  Church, 
which  has  a  communicant  membership  of 
over  2,000  and  15,000  members  enrolled  in 
catechumen  classes. 

Territory  covered  by  Elat  station  at  present  is 
from  75  to  100  miles  north  and  south  and  250  miles 
east  and  west,  with  large  unprovided  fields  between. 
Much  evangelistic  work  has  been  done,  the  mission¬ 
ary  and  native  force  together  covering  some  6,300 
miles. 

Teachers 

A  second  German  teacher  for  Elat. 

Where  one  teacher  will  be  responsible  for  the  in¬ 
struction  of  a  finishing  class  of  100  pupils  to  be 
collected  there  from  all  our  German  schools  after 
January  1,  1915,  and  who  now  has  the  burden  of 
800  pupils  at  the  station  together  with  2,600  pupils 
in  village  schools. 

Medical 

A  physician  for  Batanga. 

Occupied  as  a  station  in  1885;  situated  on  the 
coast  170  rtiiles  north  of  Baraka. 

This  station  is  the  door  to  the  interior  stations 
of  th.e  mission.  From  this  receiving  port  were  sent 
in  the  year  1914,  422  caravans.  Each  caravan  fyom 
3  to  50  men  and  the  load  of  each  is  about  60  pounds. 

The  mission  treasury  is  also  here.  The  three 
churches  in  the  Batanga  district  have  a  membership 
of  1,059  in  good  standing.  The  churches  have  con¬ 
tributed  $790  toward  their  own  expenses  and  are 
supporting  nine  evangelists.  Three  ordained  men 
at  this  station. 

A  physician  for  Benito. 

Opened  as  a  station  in  1864.  Seventy-seven  miles 
north  of  Baraka.  Sixteen  out-station  churches  con¬ 
nected  with  this  station.  These  are  all  supplied 
with  native  pastors  and  are  self-supporting. 

There  are  nine  dialects  spoken  in  the  territory 
between  Corisco  and  the  Campo,  a  distance  of  100 
miles.  For  these  people  we  are  the  only  source  of 
supply  for  the  pure  Gospel,  for  true  education  and 
for  good  medicine  unmixed  with  superstitious  treat¬ 
ment,  so  that  we  feel  a  great  load  of  responsibility 
is  upon  us  to  provide  for  them. 


CHINA  MISSIONS 

“The  nation  which  has  the  largest  popula¬ 
tion  within  a  compact  area  of  any  nation  in 
the  world,  whose  people  have  hitherto  so 
lacked  national  spirit  that  they  were  not 
able  to  act  together ;  a  people  who  have  had 
such  insufficient  means  for  intercommunica¬ 
tion  that  it  was  difficult  for  one  part  of  the 
Empire  even  to  know  the  conditions,  in  an¬ 
other  part  of  the  Empire ;  a  people  who  have 
been  proverbially  conservative  and  slow- 
moving,  have  suddenly  shown  a  unity  of 
movement  and  a  solidarity  and  determina¬ 
tion  of  action  which  would  have  been 
deemed  inconceivable  a  short  time  ago. 

“  *  *  *  No  greater  opportunity  has  been  offered 
in  history  for  Christian  conquest.  Never  before  has 
a  country  so  completely  thrown  overboard  the  old 
or  more  eagerly  held  out  her  hands  for  the  new. 
The  most  conservative  nation  in  the  world  has  be¬ 
come  the  most  progressive.  What  her  new  civiliza¬ 


tion  is  to  be  depends  very  largely  on  what  we  offer 
her  and  how  we  offer  it.  The  pure  Gospel  of  Christ, 
offered  in_  the  spirit  of  Christ,  by  the  Church  of 
Christ,  will  transform  the  ‘Yellow  Peril’  into  a 
‘Golden  Blessing’  to  the  world.”

INDIA  MISSIONS 

Of  the  more  than  316,000,000  people  in 
India,  about  5,000,000  comprise  the  “de¬ 
pressed  classes” — outcasts  and  those  of  the 
lowest  castes,  some  of  whom,  as  regards  cul¬ 
ture,  are  scarcely  on  a  higher  level  than  the 
pagan  tribes  of  Central  Africa.  Their  men¬ 
tal  faculties  have  been  blunted  by  long  cen¬ 
turies  of  oppression  and  servile  bondage, 
and  they  live  in  abject  terror  of  evil  spirits. 

160,000,000  Hindus,  belonging  to  many  various 
races,  are  further  broken  up  into  thousands  of 
groups  by  the  caste  system.  Hinduism  represents 
an  immensely  varied  and  multiform  system,  ranging 
from  the  philosophy  of  the  Vedas  to  grotesque  and 
uncouth  superstitions  and  devil  worship.  60,000,000 
Moharnmedans,  of  many  races — Aryan,  Dravidian, 
Turanian,  Mongol — all  of  whom  regard  Christianity 
with  contempt  as  an  antiquated  religion  which  Allah 
has  set  aside  and  replaced  by  Islam;  10,000,000 
Buddhists,  practically  all  inhabitants  of  Burma; 
about  1,000,000  English-speaking  people,  mostly  Hin¬ 
dus,  though  some  are  Mohammedans,  who  have  ac¬ 
quired  more  or  less  of  Western  culture.

MEXICO  MISSION 

Mexico  Is  at  our  very  doors,  yet  there  are 
millions  of  men  and  women  there  of  Indian 
blood,  living  in  terrible  degradation  and 
ignorance. 

Mexico  has  a  total  population  of  15,000,000  people 
— ;19  per  cent,  nearly  pure  white,  43  per  cent,  of 
mixed  race,  and  38  per  cent,  of  Indian  race.  Ro¬ 
manism  seems  to  be  growing  in  populari^  among 
the  wealthy  classes.  The  Church  and  S^tate  are 
separated,  however,  and  free  exercise  of  religious 
services  is  guaranteed  by  law.  There  are  ma^  in¬ 
fluences  impeding  the  progress  of  evangelical  Chris¬ 
tianity — Romanism  on  one  side,  infidelity  on  the 
other.  Twenty-one  evangelical  organizations  are  at 
work,  with  a_  total  of  62  ordained  men,  18  laymen, 
64  missionaries’  wives,  66  other  women  workers; 
547  Mexican  men  and  women  are  working  in^  con¬ 
nection  with  the  society.  A  hopeful  plan  of  inter¬ 
denominational  co-operation  is  in  sight.  Representa¬ 
tives  of  the  leading  societies  working  in  Mexico 
met  at  Cincinnati  June  30,  1914,  to  lay  out  a  pro¬ 
gram  wherebv  all  overlapping  is  to  be  avoided,  and 
the  work  and  territory  divided  on  the  basis  of  the 
greatest  efficiency. 


The  Presbyterian  work  has  radiated  from  Mexico 
City  in  the  south  and  in  the  north  from  Zacatecas, 
Saltillo  and  San  Luis  Potosi. 

We  may  find  shortly  that  a  special  opportunity 
is  to  be  opened  up  to  us  in  Mexico  and  that  a 
strong  reinforcement  must  be  sent.  Until  then  we 
are  asking  for  one  ordained  man. 

COLOMBIA  MISSION 

Colombia  has  a  population  of  4,313,000,  ex¬ 
clusive  of  about  30,000  uncivilized  Indians. 
The  climate  is  hot  along  the  coast,  but  most 
of  the  country  consists  of  an  elevated  plateau 
where  the  heat  is  modified.  The  Roman 
Catholic  religion  is  established  by  law,  though 
other  religions  are  permitted.  The  Colom¬ 
bians  are  willing,  industrious  and  cordial. 
Among  them  sanitation  and  hygiene  are 
sadly  neglected. 

The  death  rate  is  abnormally  high,  and  there  is 
little  provision  for  medical  care.  The  marriage 
laws,  and  the  state  of  morals  induced  by  the  nearly 
universal  disregard  of  the  same,  are  the  greatest 
hindrance  to  the  evangelization  of  the  people  of 
Colombia.  Polygamy  is  more  common  than  in  Mos¬ 
lem  lands. 

Appeal  from  the  field:  “If  only  you  can^  make 
some  earnest-hearted,  strong-bodied  young  minister 
believe  that  our  Colombians,  especially  in  out-of- 
the-way  places,  are  just  as  much  without  Christ  as 
are  the  savages  of  Central  Africa!”  The  statement 
is  not  too  strong,  for  while  the  name  of  Christ 
is  in  constant  use,  very  few  know  His  story,  even 
as  a  story.

PERSIA  MISSIONS 

Persia  is  notably  a  Bible  land.  It  sits  in¬ 
trenched  between  British  India  and  Russia, 
yet  isolated.  Its  area  is  648,000  square  miles, 
larger  than  New  England  and  the  Middle 
Atlantic  States  added  to  Minnesota,  Iowa, 
Missouri,  North  and  South  Dakota  and 
Nebraska. 

The  population  is  estimated  at  9,500,000,  more 
than  one-half  of  whom  are  Persians,  Kurds  and  va¬ 
rious  semi-nomadic  tribes;  2,500,000  of  the  Turkish 
race,  350,000  Arabs,  Nestorians,  Jews  and  Armen¬ 
ians.  About  one-fourth  of  the  population  are  no¬ 
mads.  The  majority  live  in  villages  of  from  50  to 
1,000  inhabitants.  There  is  a  similar  complexity  of 
languages-;— Persian,  Turkish,  Arabic,  Kurdish  and 
various  dialects  of  Persian,  Armenian  and  Syriac. 
The  people  are  generally  vigorous,  intellectual,  im¬ 
aginative,  with  aptitude  for  the  sciences  and  me¬ 
chanical  arts.  Their  social  condition  is  one  not 
much  above  serfdom.  The  extortions  practiced  are 
oftentimes  pitiless.  Famine  often  visits  the  land 
and  sweeps  off  the  people  by  tens  of  thousands.  ^  The 
women  of  the  higher  class  are  closely  restricted. 
Peasant  women  are  allowed  much  greater  liberty, 
but  are  often  unkindly  treated  and  worn  down  by 
drudgery  and  neglect.^  Polygamy  is  a  terrible  curse, 
and  a  still  greater  evil  is  the  ease  with  which  wives 
are  divorced  and  the  consequent  instability  of  the 
family.  The  proportion  of  illiteracy  is  very  great, 
among  the  Mohammedans  not  one  woman  in  a  hun¬ 
dred  being  able  to  read.

SOUTH  SIAM  MISSION 

The  territory  heretofore  known  cPs  “Siam” 
is  now  “South  Siam,”  while  the  word  “Laos” 
disappears  geographically,  this  territory  be¬ 
ing  hereafter  described  as  “North  Siam.” 

South  Siam  covers  an  area  about  equal  to  Colo¬ 
rado.  The  climate  is  on  the  whole  less  unwhole¬ 
some  than  in  most  tropical  reigons,  but  there  are 
no  invigorating  changes.  Average  conditions  dur¬ 
ing  the  cooler  months  correspond  with  July  in  New 
York.  Cholera  and  malarial  fevers  are  the  chief 
diseases  to  be  treated.  Siam  has  a  population  o-f 
6,250,000,  about  half  of  whom  are  Chinese  immi¬ 
grants  and  tributary  races.  A  large  proportion  of 
the  people  have  continued  to  live  in  a  state  of 
nominal  slavery,  although  this  is  being  done  away 
with.  Polygamy  is  usual  among  those  who  can  af¬ 
ford  it;  divorce  common;  intemperance  and  opium 
eating  prevail  to  some  extent,  but  the  national  vice 
is  gambling,  the  Government  being  largely  supported 
by  the  _  licenses  of  the  gambling  halls.  The  King  is 
active  in  initiating  reforms  looking  toward  the  aboli¬ 
tion  of  slavery,  glamWing  and  other  ^  evils.  Siam 
constitutes  the  very  citadel  of  Buddhism,  the  land 
which  more  than  any  other  is  entirely  and  only 
Buddhist.  It  is  not  too  much  to  claim  that  the 
progress  of  Siam  toward  higher  ideals  of  life  is 
largely  due  to  the  influence  of  American  mission¬ 
aries.  The  following  reinforcements  are  needed  for 
this  field: 

Clerical 

Ordained  married  man  for  touring  and 
general  evangelistic  work,  to  be  located  at 
Bangkok. 

This  city,  “the  Venice  of  the  Orient,”  has  a  popu¬ 
lation  of  628,675,  with  more  than  200,000  in  nearby 
districts.  There  are  ^  unlimited  opportunities  for 
itineration,  as  the  region  is  accessible  by  canal  or 
by  railway  and  thickly^  populated.  There^  are  no 
inns  in  the  interior,  missionaries  lodging  in  boats, 
Buddhist  temples,  market  places,  bungalows,  bamboo 
huts,  court  houses  and  tne  homes  of  the  people, 
who  are  very  hospitable.  On  a  single  tour  1,500  to 
4,000  portions  of  Scripture,  Christian  books  and 
tracts  were  distributed.

the  capital.  It  is  situated  on  high  ground  in  the 
midst  of  a-  fertile  and  populous  district,  and  the 
heat  is  mitigated  by  sea  breezes.  In  addition  to  the 
three  city  churches  there  are  four  country  churches, 
schools  and  medical  work.  The  prevalence  of  plague 
and  cholera  has  been  the  greatest  hindrance  to  mis¬ 
sionary  work  in  the  district. 

Educational  and  Evangelistic  (Women) 

Single  woman  for  Petchaburi. 

NORTH  SIAM  MISSION 

The  North  Siam  mission  is  working  among 
the  tribes  using  or  understanding  the  Laos 
language  and  extending  from  Raheng,  about 
the  middle  of  Siam,  far -beyond  the  confines 
of  China  on  the  north  and  from  Anam  on 
the  east  and  the  Salwin  Hills  on  the  west. 

There  are  also  various  hill  tribes  in  subjection  to 
the  free  people.  Exclusive  of  these  there  are  not 
less  than  5,000,000  of  the  Laos.  This  extensive 
field  is  entirely  in  the  hands  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church,  only  a  very  small  part  of  which  has  yet 
been  occupied. 

The^  Laos  are  nominal  Buddhists,  but  their  real 
worship  is  given  to  spirits  and  demons.  Their  lives 
are  darkened  by  superstitious  dread  of  these  demons. 
There  is  general  expectation  of  a  Buddhist  Messiah, 
which  in  most  places  secures  a  respectful  reception  of 
the  messengers  who  bring  the  story  of  the  Saviour. 
Some  of  the  missionaries’  warmest  friends  have  been 
Buddhist  monks.  There  are  now  47  missionaries 
in  the  field.  Five  centers  have  been  established, 
commanding  the  strategic  points  in  the  southern 
fields,  from  which  tours  are  made  into  the  untouched 
regions  to  the  north  and  east.  Reinforcements  are 
needed  as  follows:

CHILE  MISSION 

Chile  is  one  of  the  most  enterprising  and 
prosperous  Republics  of  South  America.  It 
has  a  population  of  3,329,000.  The  Roman 
Catholic  religion  is  established  by  law,  but 
there  is  greater  liberty  than  in  almost  any 
other  South  American  Republic. 

The  press  is  free  and  a  recognized  power,  and 
the  importance  of  advancement  in  education  is  un¬ 
derstood  by  both  government  and  people.  Presby¬ 
terian  missionaries  are  at  work  in  Valparaiso,  the 
principal  seaport  on  the  west  coast  of  South  Amer¬ 
ica,  a  city  with  162,000  population;  in  Santiago, 
the  capital,  the  third  largest  city  in  South  America, 
with  332,000;  in  Concepcion,  with  55,000;  in  San 
Fernando,  a  thriving  town  of  central  situation,  and 
in  Copiapo  in  the  northern  provinces,  which  depend 
for  their  wealth  on  the  mines  and  nitrate  works, 
this  latter  field  covering  21,000  square  miles  with 
79,000  people.  There  are.  at  present  connected  with 
the  Mission  15  ordained  ministers  and  15  churches. 
The  only  missions  for  Chileans  beside  the  Presby¬ 
terian  are  those  of  the  Methodist  and  Christian  and 
Missionary  Alliance.  There  is  one  other  mission  to 
the  Indians.

SYRIA 

Syria  is  about  one  and  one-fourth  times 
the  size  of  Pennsylvania.  It  has  a  great 
variety  of  climate  on  account  of  its  moun¬ 
tainous  regions. 


There  are  between  one  and  two  million  people 
in  cities,  towns  and  villages  and  nomadic  tribes. 
The  mass  of  the  population  are  Moslems.  There 
are  many  Christian  sects,  which  in  thems^ves  con¬ 
stitute  a  very^  great  difficulty  on  account  of  their 
rivalries  and  jealousies.  The  Turkish  Government 
has  always  opposed  the  progress  of  missionary  work.

WEST  AFRICA  MISSION 
Clerical 

A  minister  to  make  possible  the  occupancy 
of  the  Muni  District  in  New  Kamerun. 

This  is  an  old  and»  neglected  field,  the  occasion 
for  the  occupancy  of  which  is  emphasized  both  by 
its  having  become  a  part  of  the  German  possession, 
and  by  the  aggressive  work  of  the  Romish  Mission 
therein.  The  field  is  technically  under  the  care  of 
Batanga  station  as  being  the  nearest  station  in  Ger¬ 
man  territory,  but  is  over  200  miles  from  Batanga 
over  the  most  forbidding  route  by  land,  sea  and 
river  imaginable,  and  even  from  Benito,  which  is 
in  Spanish  territory.  This  field  is  more  than  100 
miles  removed  and  over  the  worst  part  of  the  route 
described  above,  so  that  it  is  five  days  removed 
even  from  Benito. 

Teachers 

Three  German  teachers. 

To  supply  vacancies  a  year  hence  when  four  of  our 
teachers  are  due  to  go  on  furlough,  and  but  one 
will  be  due  to  return  from  furlough,  and  to  develop 
the  school  work  in  connection  with  Fulasi,  which 
has  a  school  of  1,200  boys  at  the  station  besides 
about  2,500  pupils  in  village  schools. 

Miscellaneous 

A  graduate  agriculturist  to  direct  sys¬ 
tematic  and  practical  agricultural  work 
throughout  the  Mission — a  phase  of  work  as 
yet  inadequately  done,  and  greatly  desired 
by  the  Colonial  Government.

EGYPTIAN  SUDAN 

Medical  Workers 

A  physician  for  the  Egyptian  Sudan. 

He  must  have  a  thorough  medical  training,  owing 
to  isolation  and  separation  from  other  medic^ 
agencies.  He  must  also  be  cheerful  and  undiscour- 
ageable.  He  should  be  married.  This  need  has 
been  standing  for  some  six  years  without  being  met. 
The  work  and  field  should  appeal  to  any  man  of 
the  Livingstone  type. 

EGYPT,  INDIA  AND  THE  SUDAN 

In  addition  to  the  foregoing  special  need 
there  is  need  for  men  missionaries  and  un¬ 
married  women  to  go  out  this  year,  to  be  dis¬ 
tributed  among  the  three  fields  of  Egypt, 
India  and  the  Sudan. 


Qualifications  for  missionary  appointment  are  be¬ 
coming  increasingly  difficult,  owing  to  higher  stand¬ 
ards.  Ordinarily,  a  college  education  is  required 
for  women  missionaries  and  a  professional  educa¬ 
tion  for  men. 

NEEDS  LYING  BEYOND  1915 

Ordained  missionaries,  medical  men  and 
college  professors  are  sure  to  be  required  in 
increasing  numbers  in  the  future  for  the 
three  fields  in  which  the  United  Presbyterian 
Church  carries  on  missionary  work,  Egypt, 
India  and  the  Sudan. 

These  needs  arise  not  only  because  of  vacancies 
occurring  through  death,  ill-health  and  retirement, 
but  also  because  of  an  enlarging  work.  There  is  par¬ 
ticular  need  for  men_  who  will  be  ready  to  qualify 
for  the  existing  requirements  of  work  among  Mos¬ 
lems,  inasmuch  as  Islam  is  the  dominant  religion  in 
both  Egypt  and  the  Sudan,  and  occupies  a  large 
place  in  the  mission  field  in  India.

Our  greatest  needs  in  India  and  Egypt  are  women  physicians  and  graduate  nurses.  We 
have  three  hospitals  in  India  and  one  in  Eg-ypt.  Three  doctors  would  not  be  too  many  and 
as  many  graduate  nurses.

Three  women  physicians  of  good  Chris¬ 
tian  character  and  evangelistic  tendencies 
are  badly  needed  for  our  women’s  hospital  in 
Tanta,  Egypt. 


The  institution  is  beautifully  located  about  one 
mile  from  the  center  of  the  city,  and  is  built  upon 
a  plot  of  ground  comprising  about  five  acres.  A 
beautiful  residence  for  missionaries  in  charge  is  a 
separate  building  from  the  hospital  proper,  as  is  also 
the  kitchen  and  dining  room.  The  year  just  closed 
is  the  best  in  its  history,  about  500  in-patients,  16,-

000  clinic  patients  being  cared  for  and  about  600 
visits  rn^e  to  patients  in  their  homes.  An  evan¬ 
gelist  is  ""supported  by  the  Board,  who  reads  and 
prays  with  the  clinic  patients  while  'waiting  their 
turn  for  treatrnent,  and  who  also  visits  and  reads 
with  the  in-patients. 

Nurses 

Three  trained  American  nurses  of  thor¬ 
ough  Christian  character,  who  can  minister 


to  souls  as  well  as  to  patients,  are  also 
needed  for  our  same  hospitals. 

Teachers 

Kindergartners  will  be  greatly  appre¬ 
ciated  in  the  Board  schools  in  India  and

out  in  1915  all  who 'measure  up  to  requirements.

sirable  also  that  he  should  be  an  organizer,  capable 
of  establishing  a  system  of  education  for  this  par¬ 
ticular  mission  field.  '  In  the  present  desire  for

Africa  Inland  Mission 

Secretary  for  Candidate  Correspondence:  Mr.  ORSON  R.  PAL¬ 
MER,  2244  N.  29th  Street,  Philadelphia,  Pa. 

This  is  an  interdenominational  mission,  whose  policy  is  to  establish  a  chain  of  Stations 
along  the  high  table  land  to  the  heart  of  the  Continent  of  Africa,  to  promote  the  widest 
possible  evangelization  among  the  tribes  of  Africa  by  white  missionaries  and  native  evan¬ 
gelists,  and  to  work  in  territory  not  being  occupied  by  other  Missionary  Societies. 

The  present  fields  of  operation  are  in  British  East  Africa,  German  East  Africa  and  the 
Belgian  Congo. 


In  British  East  Africa  12  stations  have 
been  established  from  three  to  seven  thou¬ 
sand  feet  above  the  sea  level.  This  work  is 
among  several  tribes  of  natives  with  con¬ 
siderable  difference  in  their  language  and 
pursuits.  Their  language  is  being  reduced 
to  writing  and  portions  of  the  Scripture  are 
being  printed.  A  native  church  is  being  es¬ 
tablished  and  the  native  converts  are  of  great 
help  in  the  work.  School  work  is  under  way 
and  at  Kijabe  an  industrial  work,  with  saw 
and  shingle  mill,  is  carried  on.  At  this  sta¬ 
tion  there  is  also  a  good  school  for  the  chil¬ 
dren  of  the  missionaries.  The  Uganda  Rail¬ 
way  runs  by  the  gardens,  making  it  con¬ 
venient  to  send  supplies  to  this  as  well  as 
other  stations  in  the  district.  Several  tribes 
are  as  yet  without  a  single  missionary  and 
workers  find  here  a  ripened  harvest  field 
ready  to  enter. 

In  German  East  Africa  four  main  stations 
besides  the  out-stations  have  been  estab¬ 
lished,  but  at  present  missionaries  cannot  go 
in  or  out  of  this  district  on  account  of  war 
conditions. 

In  the  Belgian  Congo  at  the  Northwest 
of  Lake  Albert  a  station  has  been  established 
among  the  Baluru  people,  where  a  most  en¬ 
couraging  work  is  being  carried  on.  Some 
three  hundred  miles  to  the  North  and  West, 
some  of  our  English  representatives  have 
established  a  work  near  Dungu  among  the 


Azandi,  a  people  thought  to  number  five 
million  and  wholly  unevangelized. 

Access  is  convenient.  Large  ocean  steam¬ 
ers  stop  at  Mombasa.  The  Uganda  Railway 
runs  from  there  to  Port  Florence  at  Lake 
Victoria.  The  Cape  to  Cairo  Road,  running 
the  extreme  length  of  the  continent,  is  about 
two-thirds  built,  and  will  be  near  the  far  in¬ 
terior  work.  Motor  roads  are  being  built 
across  the  Belgian  Congo  to  give  access  from 
the  west  coast.  The  great  interior  of  Africa 
with  its  hundreds  of  tribes  of  natives  is  at 
our  doors.  Telephone  and  telegraph  lines  span 
the  continent,  the  trader  and  the  exploiter 
are  already  on  the  ground,  but  the  darkness 
of  paganism  is  still  there,  and  Mohammedan¬ 
ism,  with  its  menace  to  Christianity,  is  press¬ 
ing  on  with  rapid  strides.  What  a  challenge 
to  the  Church  of  God  to  occupy  the  field  for 
Himl  . 

Strong,  practical,  Spirit-filled  men  and 
women  are  needed  for  these  “fields  white  to 
the  harvest”  and  will  be  sent  out  as  rapidly 
as  the  funds  are  supplied.  Ordained  min¬ 
isters,  college  graduates,  physicians,  teachers, 
nurses  and  lay  workers  of  more  humble  at¬ 
tainments,  all  have  their  place.  It  is  import¬ 
ant,  however,  that  all  candidates  be  men  and 
women  of  piety,  strong  Christian  character, 
soul  winners,  and  able  to  get  along  patiently 
and  lovingly  with  others  amidst  the  reverses 
and  trials  incident  to  missionary  life.

The  Mission  needs  evangelistic  missionaries,  men  and  women,  married  and  single,  in

China  Inland  Mission 


Applications  should  be  sent  to:  CHINA  INLAND  MISSION, 
Germantown,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  or  Toronto,  Ontario. 

This  Mission  is  international  and  interdenominational.  It  receives  applications  from 
suitable  persons,  whether  ordained  men,  laymen,  physicians,  laywomen,  nurses  or  teachers. 


without  any  restrictions  as  to  number.  Thos( 
selves  to  the  Mission,  and  they  will  be  sent 
funds  is  answered. 

The  missionaries  land  at  Shanghai  and 
they  are  then  sent  to  the  Training  Homes  at 
Nanking  and  Yangchow,  where  they  spend 
a  winter  in  studying  the  language  and  in 
learning  .the  customs  of  the  Chinese.  After¬ 
wards,  the  missionaries  are  designated  to 
their  stations  in  the  interior.  As  the  Mis¬ 
sion  has  now  oven^200  stations  and  an  ad¬ 
ditional  1,000  out-stations,  a  wide  field  is  be¬ 
fore  its  worker's.  The  stations  are  scattered 
through  fifteen  of  the  interior  provinces  and 


persons  will  be  accepted  who  commend  them- 
to  China  as  speedily  as  prayer  for  necessary 

work  is  being  carried  on,  not  only  amongst 
the  Chinese,  but  also  amongst  the  Tibetans 
and  the  Aboriginal  Tribes.  There  is  much 
settled  work  now  being  done;  but  there  is 
still  great  need  for  itinerant  work.  Over  2,000 
walled  cities  have  no  resident  missionaries, 
tens  of  thousands  of  towns  and  villages  have 
no  center  of  Gospel  light,  and  great  reaches 
of  country-districts  have  never  heard  the 
voice  of  a  preacher. 


The  Sudan  United  Mission 

Secretary  for  Candidate  Correspondence:  Mr.  WALTER  W. 

HOOVER,  40  Hasbrouck  Place,  Rutherford,  N.  J. 

This  is  a  union  effort  organized  to  meet  the  serious  crisis  in  the  Sudan,  where  the  pagan 
tribes  are  being  overrun  by  Mohammedanism. 

The  present  spheres  of  the  mission  are  the  district  east  of  the  Niger  River  in  Northern 
Nigeria,  8  degrees  north  latitude,  and  the  Dinka  Tribe  in  the  upper  Nile  province  of  the 
Anglo-Egyptian  Sudan.  The  objective  is  a  chain  of  mission  centers  from  the  Niger  to 
the  Nile. 

The  natives,  with  but  few  exceptions,  are  pure  negroes.  There  are  many  tribes,  each 
with  its  own  language  or  dialect,  most  of  which  are  still  unwritten.  They  live  in  a  primitive 
state  of  civilization.  To  gain  a  livelihood  they  till  the  soil,  fish,  gather  the  fruits  of  the  forest 
and  do  a  little  trading.  In  their  worship  they  are  Animists. 

The  country,  now  under  British  rule,  is  yet  largely  undeveloped.  Travel  is  by  waterway 
or  overland  through  forest  paths. 


Trained  workers  are  urgently  needed 
as  follows: 

Ordained  men. 

Teachers,  both  men  and  women,  for  ele¬ 
mentary  schools. 

They  should  have  some  special  training  in  relig¬ 
ious  work. 

Three  teachers  for  a  Central  Training 
School  for  native  teachers  and  evangelists. 

Physicians  for  pioneer  work.  One  is 
needed  at  once. 

NORTHERN  NIGERIA 

■Workers  for  Europeans  and  non-natives 
on  the  railroad. 

The  new  railroad  from  the  coast  northward 
across  the  Munchi  country  opens  up  a  new  tribe 
to  civilization.  It  is  important  that  they  get  Chris¬ 
tianity  first  or  the  new  civilization  may  be  a  greater 
evil  than  Mohammedanism. 

No  work  is  done  in  Enelish.  The  language  of 


the  district  would  have  to  be  acquired  and  all  work 
done  by  means  nf  that  language. 

Medical  Workers 

A  medical  man  is  urgently  needed  for 
Wukari. 

With  the  exception  of  the  Government  doctor  at 
Ibi,  there  is  no  medical  man  in  all  North  Nigeria 
south  of  the  Benue.  A  letter  just  received  from 
Rev.  C.  W.  Guinter,  Wukari,  states:  “With  Whit¬ 
man  ill  and  no  mission  doctor  in  all  this  district, 
comes  the  crying  need  of  a  medical  man.  I  do 
hope  one  will  be  found  soon.”  A  qualified  physician 
either  married  or  single,  who  commends  himself  to 
the  Mission,  will  be  sent  out  as  soon  as  his  sup¬ 
port  is  secured. 

A  married  man  is  needed  for  Donga. 

He  may  be  either  an  ordained  minister  or  an 
artisan,  or  a  practical  agriculturist;  he  must  have 
executive  ability  and  fitness  for  teaching.  The  wife 
should  be  capable  of  doing  a  share  of  the  school 
work  and  should  have  some  special  Bible  training. 
It  will  be  necesary  to  secure  the  support  for  these 
persons  when  found.

SOUTH  CHINA 

This  field  is  located  adjacent  to  Canton  and  Hong 
Kong,  and  contains  a  population  of  over  one  mil¬ 
lion.  It  is  from  this  part  of  China  that  all  the 
Chinese  in  North  America  come.  There  are  14 
chapels,  many  of  which  are  manned  by  native 
preachers,  some  of  whom  became  Christians  in 
North  America  and  returned  to  become  self-sup¬

take  up  educational  work,  and  another  medical  man

with  a  Canadian  staff  of  29  missionaries,  including 
wives,  and  a  native  staff  of  157.

dicated  by  the  fact  that  of  2,683  communicant  mem¬ 
bers,  730  were  added  in  1912,  and  of  2,008  cate¬ 
chumens,  60S  were  added  in  1912.  There  are  81

A  man  of  tact  and  ability  is  required  for 
an  important  station  among  the  Navajos. 

There  is  a  large  scattered  population  of  adult  In¬ 
dians,  to  many  of  whom  the  Gospel  has  been  pre¬ 
sented  only  in  the  last  three  years,  and  the  Govern¬ 
ment  Boarding  School  of  some  two  hundred,  where 
our  denomination  has  the  only  church  work.  There 
is  an  attractive  manse  and  small  garden  farm,  and 
the  salary,  with  these  accommodations  additional,  is 


$1,150.  The  location  is  between  Farmington,  on

156  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York  City. 

The  School  Department  will  be  glad  to  receive  applications  from  young  women  who 
desire  work  either  as  teachers,  nurses  or  evangelists  on  the  home  field.  The  field  covered 
includes  the  Alaskans,  the  Indians,  the  Mexicans,  the  Mormons,  the  Southern  Mountaineers, 
Cubans  and  Porto  Ricans.  The  need  of  consecrated  workers  in  the  home  field,  workers 
whose  consecration  has  been  attested  by  a  thorough  training  and  a  careful  preparation  for 
Christian  social  service,  is  very  pressing.  The  call  is  for  the  best.  Young  men  and  young 

women  of  exceptional  talent  will  find  exceptional  opportunities. 

Our  schools  range  in  grade  from  kindergartens  and  mountain  day  schools  to  the  higher 

institutions  for  academic,  pedagogical  and  industrial  training.  The  object  of  all  the  work 
is  community  uplift  through  the  development  of  Christian  leadership.  Neighborhood  work 
is  also  being  instituted  in  various  localities,  both  urban  and  rural,  and  for  this  undertaking 
candidates  of  a  high  order  of  merit  are  being  sought.  The  spirit  of  dissatisfaction  with 
present-day  conditions  and  the  consequent  social,  religious  and  economic  changes  which  are 
becoming  generally  manifest  afford  a  source  of  abundant  harvest  to  the  trained,  talented, 
aggressive  and  spiritually  consecrated  worker. 

Medical  Workers:  Two  internes  will  be  needed  on  July  1  at  San  Juan  Hospital,  Porto

Unmarried  graduates  of  a  first-class  medical  school  are  required. 


THE  PRESENT  NEED  FOR  MORE  MISSIONARIES  IN 

JAPAN 

BY  H.  E.  COLEMAN 

Chairman,  Furlough  Committee  of  the  Conference  of  Federated 
Missions  in  Japan.  Temporary  Address:  600  West  122d  Street, 

New  York  City. 


The  mistaken  impression  has  gone 
abroad  that  Japan  is  almost  evangel¬ 
ized.  However,  the  Committee  of  the 
Federated  Missions,  which  has  been 
studying  the  conditions  in  Japan  for 
three  years,  has  found  that  forty  miil- 
lion  people  are  yet  unreached  with  the 
Gospel  message.  This  Committee  be¬ 
lieves  that  plans  should  be  made  which 
will  give  to  all  the  Japanese  people  a 
reasonable  opportunity  to  hear  the  Gos¬ 
pel,  and  that  this  cannot  be  done  unless 
400  additional  missionaries  be  sent  to  ‘ 
Japan  within  the  next  few  yearSj  and 
that  funds  be  provided  to  put  into  the 
field  about  1,500  Japanese  evangelists. 

There  are  over  500  towns  of  5,000 
population  and  more  that  are  yet  un- 
fouched.  In  most  of  these  towns  there 
are  middle  schools  (that  is,  high 
schools),  with  hundreds  of  students; 
and,  as  never  before,  these  schools  are 
open  now  to  the  direct  and  indirect  re¬ 
ligious  work  of  missionaries.  As  a  gen¬ 
eral  rule  there  should  be  a  missionary 
family  in  every  center  where  there  is 
such  a  high  school. 

The  Students  Christian  Literature 
Supply  Society  has  found  in  the  last 
two  years  the.,  doors  opening  in  a  won¬ 
derful  way  to  the  distribution  of  religi^ 
ous  literature  printed  in  Japanese. 
They  are  now  distributing  about  23,000 
copies  of  this  paper  with  a  definite 
Christian  message  in  about  540  govern¬ 
ment  schools  enrolling  over  150,000 
students.  This  is  sowing  good  seed,  but 


it  should  be  followed  up  by  workers  to 
cultivate  the  field  more  thoroughly.  . 

Dr.  Takogi,  president  of  the  Metho¬ 
dist  College  in  Tokio,  said,  in  a  letter 
on  the  present  situation,  “It  is  often 
said  that  our  people  are  falling  down 
in  morals  day  by  day,  and  it  is  true  in¬ 
deed  in  a  certain  respect.  The  material 
civilization  which  was  introduced  from 
the  West  has  deprived  the  people  of 
their  old  faiths,  and  as  a  result  they 
have  lost  their  moral  foundation  and 
naturally  corruption  has  set  in.” 

While  accepting  Western  arts,  sci¬ 
ences  and  machinery  in  the  beginning 
of  the  last  (Meiji)  era,  the  people 
openly  declared  their  belief  in  the  su¬ 
periority  of  Eastern  morals.  In  the  last 
few  months,  however,  in  the  language 
of  Baron  Sakatani,  Mayor  of  Tokio, 
“The  educationalists  have  doffed  their 
helmets  to  the  religionists” ;  and  the  re¬ 
moval  of  the  Department  of  Religion 
to  be  connected  with  the  Department  of 
Education  is  official  recognition  of  the 
need  of  religion  in  the  education  of 
youth. 

The  religious  condition  of  the  people 
was  tersely  summarized  by  Dr.  Ibuka, 
one  of  the  fpremost  Christian  leaders 
of  the  country,  in  the  following:  “The 
religions  that  the  people  have  inherited 
from  the  past  do  not  satisfy  them. 
They  have  religions  hut  they  have  no 
religion.  What  they  need  is  the  Gospel 
of  Christ  which  is  the  power  of  God 
unto  salvation.”

ON  BEHALF  OF  THE  STUDENTS  OF  WESTERN  INDIA 


Is  this  a  time  to  pass  Japan  by? 
When  there  are  signs  of  victory  ought 
we  not  to  send  an  adequate  staff  of 
missionaries  into  the  field? 

In  one  province  (less  than  50  miles 
from  Tokio),  only  one  of  the  forty- 
six,  there  are  l,v364  Buddhist  temples 
with  980  Buddhist  priests,  and  only  4 
Christian  Church  buildings.  Only  one 
in  866  of  the  population  are  Christians. 
Compared  to  this  army  of  priests,  there 
are  31  Christian  workers  (including 
eight  missionaries)  for  the  1,342,000 
population. 

It  is  a  wrestling  not  with  “flesh  and 


1)lood,”  hut  with  a  difficult  language  and 
a  most  intricate  social  system, — with  an 
intellectual  ])cople  trained  in  Eastern 
jdiilosophical  thinking ;  it  is  attacking 
strongholds  of  Buddhism  that  have 
been  more  than  a  thousand  years  in  the 
making.  It  is  a  task  that  challenges 
the  strongest  minds  that  our  American 
colleges  can  produce. 

The  Christian  forces  at  the  front  in 
Japan  ask  for  only  as  many  recruits  as 
are  required  for  one  small  armored 
cruiser.  Only  400  men !  Will  the 
Church  of  the  United  States  and  Can¬ 
ada  withhold  these? 


ON  BEHALF  OF  THE  STUDENTS  OF  WESTERN  INDIA 

BY  WILBERT  B.  SMITH,  POONA 


'Thirty  million  people  live  in  the 
Bombay  Presidency ;  in  numbers  they 
equal  the  comibined  population  of  all 
New  England,  New  York,  New  Jersey, 
Pennsylvania,  and  Ohio.  Philadelphia 
alone  has  more  Christian  church  mem¬ 
bers  than  all  this  Presidency.  Ten  mil¬ 
lion  of  these  people  are  entirely  nn- 
reached  by  Christian  influences.  Is 
there  a  single  village  in  the  States  men¬ 
tioned  where  such  a  condition  exists? 

The  Brahmins,  reactionary,  self- 
seeking,  corrupt,  are  the  religious  lead¬ 
ers  who  dominate  these  millions.  The 
anti-Christian,  anti- foreign  propaganda 
which  has  spread  throughout  India 
with  such  disastrous  results  has  one  of 
its  principal  headquarters  in  Poona. 

Eamines  have  devastated  immense 
areas;  thousands  have  died  from  star¬ 
vation,  and  the  survivors  have  been 
left  in  an  economic  condition  which 
beggars  description.  Ten  cents  a  day  is 
good  pay  for  a  laborer  who  must  sup¬ 


port  his  family  on  his  wages.  Heart¬ 
less  money-lenders  hold  thousands  in 
literal  slavery. 

Ignorance,  appalling  ignorance  of 
the  laws  of  nature,  of  their  own  bodies 
and  minds,  and  of  the  laws  of  their 
spirits,  prevails.  In  a  terribly  true 
sense  “the  people  perish  for  lack  of 
knowledge.”  And  as  one  sees  their 
leaders  the  force  of  the  prophet’s  words 
are  driven  home :  “O  my  people,  they 
that  lead  thee  cause  thee  to  err.” 

The  hope  of  every  nation  is  its  youth. 
The  students  of  all  lands  have  been  the 
liberators.  Her  students  are  the  hope 
of  India.  The  immediate  problem, 
therefore,  is  to  enlist  them  in  Christ’s 
cause.  There  are  relatively  few  Chris¬ 
tian  students  in  the  colleges.  My  lang¬ 
uage  teacher,  a  student  in  a  Christian 
mission  college,  says  that  he  and  one 
other  are  the  only  Christians  among 
more  than  200  students  in  that  college. 
The  entire  membership  of  the  Student

Christian  Association  of  India  and  Cey¬ 
lon  docs  not  exceed  1,800;  contrast  this 
with  the  Student  Christian  Association 
in  the  United  States  and  Canada  with 
more  than  120,000  members. 

A  Brahmin  pundit  who  is  intellectu¬ 
ally  attracted  by  Christianity,  the  other 
day  answered  my  question,  “What 
would  happen  if  one  of  the  Hindu  stu¬ 
dents  in  Poona  became  a  Christian  ?”  by 
saying:  “He  would  be  dead;  dead  to 
his  family,  and  dead  to  his  friends.’’ 
He  might  have  added,  “And  perhaps 
dead  to  the  world” — for  such  men  have 
usually  been  terribly  persecuted  and 
often  poisoned  by  their  families.  They 
could  not  eat  with  their  own  mothers ; 
they  could  not  assockite  with  their  old 
friends.  They  would  lose  all  that 
friendship  and  life-long  association  had 
made  dear — for  Christ’s  sake. 

Nevertheless,  God  needs  these  men 
for  His  work,  just  as  Pie  needed  Saul 
of  Tarsus.  One  who  prays  that  they 
may  be  led  into  it  ought  of  course  to  be 
sure  in  his  own  mind  that  the  service 
to  he  rendered  is  worth  the  persecution 
;md  suffering  it  costs.  Shortly  before 
we  sailed  a  Yale  man  of  well-to-do 
Christian  parentage,  told  me  he  would 
])ray  for  God’s  blessing  upon  our  work 
here ;  he  also  said  that  he  could  not  ac¬ 
cept  a  call  to  enter  missionary  work  be¬ 
cause  if  he  did  his  father  and  mother 
would  be  too  loneS)me.  I  have  been 
asking  myself  ever  since  whether  we 
are  personally  willing  to  pay  as  high  a 
])rice  for  our  discipleship  as  these  In¬ 
dian  students  must  pay  if  our  prayers 
for  their  conversion  are  answered. 
(And,^too,  it  costs  their  fathers  and 
mothers  a  great  deal,  though  they  may 
be  Hindus  instead  of  Christians.) 

Poona  has  five  colleges  with  about 


1,700  students;  two  Arts,  one  Medical, 
one  Engineering,  one  Agricultural  com¬ 
prise  the  group.  The  largest  is  Fer- 
gusson  College,  with  ‘about  1,003  stu¬ 
dents.  It  is  supported  by  Indians,  its 
faculty  are  Indians,  its  students  largely 
Hindus,  but  including  all  religious 
groups.  It  is  perhaps  the  most  impor¬ 
tant  college  in  Western  India. 

Students  in  all  these  colleges  come 
from  every  part  of  India,  so  that  what 
happens  here  reaches  to  the  boundaries 
of  the  Empire. 

They  are  picked  men,  largely  of  the 
Mahratta  race,  conquerors  of  a  thou¬ 
sand  years,  and  wonderfully  qualified 
for  leadership. 

Political  agitators  conjure  with  the 
name  of  “Poona,”  the  seat  of  ancient 

kings.  Is  not  God  able  to  make  Poona 
a  lighthouse  to  the  world,  a  place 

toward  which  men  may  look  for  en¬ 
couragement,  for  inspiration,  and  cause 
for  thanksgiving?  I  believe  He  will — 
if  you  and  I  do  our  part.  Will  Chris¬ 
tians  who  read  this  join  in  believing 
prayer : 

1.  That  faithful  intercessors  may  he  in¬ 
creased  in  all  lands,  who  will  pray  that  In¬ 
dia-  may  he  completely  evangelized  in  our 
generation ;  and  that  we  may  each  be  used 
to  enlist  such  intercessors. 

2.  That  Christians  in  India  (Indian  and 
foreign)  may  be  wholly  dominated  by 
Christ’s  desire  for  India’s  regeneration;  may 
give  their  time  and  their  possessions  wholly 
to  that  object;  may  be  personal  evangelists 
among  their  friends  and  neighbors. 

3.  That  the  Brahmins  and  educated  clas¬ 
ses  may  be  mastered  by  the  Holy  Spirit, 
drawn  to  Christ,  and  become,  like  Paul,  His 
messengers  to  India  and  neighboring  coun¬ 
tries. 

4.  That  Christian  teachers  may  be  raised 
up,  from  Western  lands  and  from  the  In¬ 
dian  corhmunity,  to  instruct  the  poor  and 
ignorant  who,  in  large  numbers,  are  asking 
for  Christian  knowledge.  Why  should  not 
such  teachers  come  from  those  who  have 
for  centuries  been  the  spoilers  of  these  peo¬ 
ple — the  Brahmins? 

5.  Tliat  in  Poona  the  Brahmins  and  edu- 


40  STRATEGIC  PLACE  OF  THE  ORDAINED  MAN  IN  MISSIONARY  SERVICE 


cated  men  may  yield  their  hearts  to  Jesus 
Christ.  Remember  especially  two  Brahmins, 
with  whom  I  have  had  long  conversations 
about  Christ.  That  Poona  may  speedily  be¬ 
come  a  “city  set  on  a  hill  whose  light  can¬ 
not  be  hid,”  as  a  result  of  such  obedience. 

6.  That  the  students  of  Poona  may  be¬ 


come  disciples  of  Christ,  and  serve  Him  as 
missionaries  to  their  people  throughout  India 
and  beyond. 

7.  That  Christ  may  protect,  encourage, 
and  strengthen  those  who  may  have  to  en¬ 
dure  persecution ;  that  we  missionaries  may 
be  true  to  them. 


THE  STRATEGIC  PLACE  OF  THE  ORDAINED  MAN  IN 

MISSIONARY  SERVICE 

BY  JOSEPH  C.  ROBBINS 
Candidate  Secretary,  Student  Volunteer  Movement 


The  calls  that  have  come  to  the  Stu¬ 
dent  Volunteer  Movement  from  the 
Foreign  Mission  Boards  of  the  United 
States  and  Canada,  as  noted  in  the  pre¬ 
ceding  pages,  show  a  Urge  and  wide 
range  of  specialized  forms  of  mission¬ 
ary  service.  The  chief  emphasis,  how¬ 
ever,  is  to-day,  as  in  the  past,  for 
thoroughly  trained  ordained  men  for 
evangelistic  work.  Fully  sixty  per  cent, 
of  all  the  men  sent  out  as  missionaries 
by  the  Foreign  Mission  Boards  within 
the  past  three  years  have  been  ordained 
men.  The  need  for  a  largely  increased 
number  of  these  thoroughly  trained 
ordained  men  is  the  paramount  human 
need  in  the  great  world-wide  mission¬ 
ary  enterprise. 

In  the  Continuation  Committee  Con¬ 
ferences  that  were  held  by  Dr.  Mott 
last  year  in  Asia,  the  importance  of  this 
need  was  everywhere  emphasized.  The 
Indian  Conference  declared  that  the 
need  “shown  to  be  of  paramount  im¬ 
portance  by  the  present  situation”  is 
“the  clamant  need  of  more  aggressive, 
far-spread  and  conquering  evangelistic 
effort,”  and  for  such  effort,  allowing 
for  exceptions,  “missionaries  should  re¬ 
ceive  a  broad  general  culture  and  a 
thorough  training  in  theology.” 

The  following  paragraphs,  quoted 


from  the  Third  Report  of  the  Board  of 
Missionary  Preparation,  emphasize  the 
overwhelming  need  for  ordained  men 
on  the  mission  field : 

The  time  has  evidently  come  not  only  to 
say  to  young  men  who  have  definitely  de¬ 
cided  to  give  their  lives  to  medical  or  edu¬ 
cational  work  or  other  similar  forms  of 
service  at  home  that  they  should  consider 
whether  the  foreign  field  does  not  at  this 
time  offer  them  the  largest  field  of  service, 
but  also  to  urge  earnestly  upon  all  young- 
men  who  are  not  yet  irrevocably  committed 
to  such  forms  of  service  that  the  present 
greatest  need  abroad  is  for  trained  evangel¬ 
istic  leadership  and  that  the  loudest  call 
from  the  field  is  for  reinforcements  of  thor¬ 
oughly  prepared  ordained  men. 

The  central  and  formative  idea  of  mis¬ 
sionary  work  is  the  Christian  Church.  The 
men  who  are  to  found  and  extend  and  guide 
such  churches  must  be  men  who  know  what 
the  Church  has  been  and  is,  who  think  in 
terms  of  the  New  Testament  conception,  and 
who,  whether  their  churchmanship  is  high 
or  low,  nevertheless  know  the  reality  of  the 
body  of  Christ  by  experience  and  accept  it 
as  the  governing  principle  of  their  thought 
and^  work.  And^  indeed,  until  there  is  a 
Christian  constituency,  every  form  of  mis¬ 
sionary  work  is  limit^. 

The  most  essential  thing  in  the  training  of 
a  native  church  and  its  leaders  is  to  ensure 
the  dominance  of  the  evangelistic  spirit. 
The  Church  and  its  leaders  can  never  be 
made  evangelistic  by  being  told  to  be.  They 
will  be  not  what  the  missions  and  mission¬ 
aries  counsel  them  to  be,  but  what  they  see 
that  the  missions  and  missionaries  are.  For 
that  reason  the  missions  must  saturate  all 
their  activities  with  the  evangelistic  spirit. 
The  Shanghai  Continuation  Conference 
spoke  of  this : 

“A  strong  evangelistic  spirit  should  char¬ 
acterize  every  branch  of  the  missionary  en¬ 
terprise  ;  all  missionaries,  pastors,  teachers 


WHO  IS  QUALIFIED  TO  PREPARE  FOR  FOREIGN  MISSIONARY  SERVICE?  41 


and  other  religious  workers  by  their  life  and 
work  should  give  the  place  of  supreme  im¬ 
portance  to  ‘proclaiming  Jesus  Qirist  and 
Him  crucified,’  and  every  member  of  the 
Church  should  be  impressed  with  the  privi¬ 
lege  and  duty  of  sharing  in  the  holy  art  of 
soul-winning.” 

The  missionary  enterprise  to-day  is  legiti¬ 
mately  and  of  necessity  a  much  more  varied 
service  than  in  Paul’s  'time,  and  every  form 
of  missionary  work  which  is  legitimate  and 
necessary  can  claim  an  equal  sacredness  and 
satisfaction.  But  when  young  men  are  mak¬ 
ing  their  choice  of  the  forms  of  action  they 
are  to  pursue,  it  is  just  to  press  upon  them 
these  considerations  which  our  correspon¬ 
dents  have  advanced,  and  also  to  direct  them 
to  the  example  of  the  most  powerful  and 
successful  missionary  who  ever  gave  his  life 
to  the  propagation  of  Christianity  in  other 
lands.  What  method  did  Paul  pursue?  In 
what  forms  did  he  cast  his  mighty  and  en¬ 
during  action?  He  directly  assailed  his 
problems.  He  took  his  living  Gospel  and 


went  with  it  confidently  out  upon  human 
life.  In  city  and  town  and  country  he 
preached  Christ.  He  left  behind  him  centres 
of  new  life,  and  he  did  not  forget  or  aban¬ 
don  them.  On  the  contrary,  with  ceaseless 
care  he  held  fast  to  them,  revisited  them, 
wrote  to  them,  sent  men  to  them,  sought  to 
make  each  of  them  a  living  nucleus  in  the 
new  body.  He  was  forever  on  the  watch  for 
likely  young  men  whom  he  bound  to  Christ 
and  to  his  own  missionary  ideals,  and  whom 
he  carefully  trained  in  the  most  powerful  of 
all  schools,  the  school  of  his  own  blazing 
personal  companionship.  His  ambition  to 
push  out  the  bounds  of  the  Church  to  the 
rim  of  the  world,  to  reach  the  unreached,  to 
make  the  Church  a  shining  moral  light  and 
a  glowing  social  fellowship  and  a  resistless 
Christian  argument,  and  his  theory  of  the 
Church  as  a  free  and  living  body — these  are 
the  ambitions  and  the  theory  which  we  need 
to-day,  and  which  call  especially  for  mis¬ 
sionaries  of  Paul’s  method  and  spirit  and 
equipment. 


WHO  IS  QUALIFIED  TO  PREPARE  FOR  FOREIGN 

MISSIONARY  SERVICE? 

BY  FENNELL  P.  TURNER 
General  Secretary,  Student  Volunteer  Movement 


The  need  for  workers  in  the  foreign 
mission  field  was  never  so  great  or  so 
urgent  as  at  the  present  time. 

From  missions  already  established, 
there  is  the  pressing,  constant  demand 
year  after  year  for  men  and  women  to 
fill  the  places  of  those  who  fall  at  their 
posts  or  are  compelled  to  retire  from 
active  service  for  reasons  beyond  their 
control.  The  rapid  growth  of  the  work 
has  created  a  demand  for  the  enlarge¬ 
ment  of  the  staff  of  every  mission. 
There  is  the  call  for  workers  from  the 
unoccupied  portions  of  the  occupied 
fields.  There  is  also  the  appeal  of  the 
wholly  unoccupied  territory  where  no 
missions  have  been  established.  The 
cry  for  help  that  comes  from  all  these 
fields  is  not  that  of  one  man,  but  of 
multitudes  “having  no  hope  and  with¬ 
out  God  in  the  world.” 


The  demand  from  the  foreign  mis¬ 
sion  field  is  not  only  for  an  increase  in 
the  number  of  workers ;  greater  empha¬ 
sis  than  ever  before  is  laid  on  the  better 
preparation  of  missionaries.  The  call 
for  specialists  comes  from  missions 
which  have  been  established  for  years. 
The  demand  is  that  the  ordained  mis¬ 
sionary  should  have  more  thorough 
preparation  than  his  predecessors.  The 
doctor  should  have  college  training, 
four  years  in  medical  school,  and  ade¬ 
quate  hospital  training.  The  teacher 
who  goes  to  the  foreign  mission  field 
should  take  special  courses  in  educa¬ 
tion. 

In  response  to  this  demand  for  better - 
preparation,  Boards  of  Missionary 
Preparation  have  been  established  on 
both  sides  of  the  Atlantic.  They  are 
attempting  to  formulate  standards  of 


42  WHO  IS  QUALIFIED  TO  PREPARE  FOR  FOREIGN  MISSIONARY  SERVICE? 


preparation  which  are  necessary  for 
foreign  missionaries.  Theological  sem¬ 
inaries,  missionary  training  schools  and 
colleges  are  adding  professors  and  are 
offering  additional  courses  in  order  to 
be  in  a  position  to  supply  this  special 
training  for  missionary  candidates. 

All  this  emjdiasis  on  better  prepara¬ 
tion  and  on  specialization  has  resulted 
in  some  confusion  as  to  the  real  objec¬ 
tive  of  the  missionary’s  work.  Conse¬ 
quently,  we  find  some  candidates  put¬ 
ting  the  emphasis  on  the  professional 
qualifications  and  others  on  the  specific 
calls  which  are  constantly  coming  from 
the  field  rather  than  on  the  real  purpose 
of  the  missionary  enterprise.  In  their 
commendable  zeal  to  be  professionally 
qualified  and  to  do  the  work  for  which 
this  professional  training  fits  them, 
they  have  sometimes  lost  sight  of  the 
vocation  of  the  missionary,  and  not  a 
few  young  missionaries  have  become 
discouraged  upon  reaching  the  field  be¬ 
cause  the  special  work  which  they 
thought  they  had  been  sent  out  to  do 
was  not  open  to  them.  The  real  ob¬ 
jective  of  foreign  missions  has  been 
confused  with  the  methods  of  doing  the 
work;  and  an  undue  emphasis  has  l)cen 
placed  upon  the  professional  aspects 
rather  than  upon  the  aim  of  the  enter¬ 
prise. 

Men  and  women  are  required  for 
missionary  work  who  know  Jesus 
Christ  as  personal  Saviour  and  Lord, 
and  are  so  filled  with  His  Spirit  that 
they  go  forth  as  His  ambassadors. 
From  personal  experience  they  know 
that  He  alone  can  give  life  and  sn])ply 
the  energy  which  is  necessary  if  men 
are  to  become  His  disciples  and  are  to 
live  the  life  which  makes  possible  their 
becoming  uplifting  forces  in  t*he  com¬ 


munities  where  they  work.  The  funda¬ 
mental  principle  which  should  be  em¬ 
phasized  as  strongly  as  possible  is  this : 
only  men  who  are  moved  by  the  pri¬ 
mary  purpose  which  called  the  whole 
missionary  enterprise  into  existence  are 
prepared  to  do  tlie  work  of  mission¬ 
aries.  The  real  purpose  of  the  mission¬ 
ary  enterprise  is  to  give  all  people  an 
adequate'  opportunity  to  know  Jesus 
Christ  as  their  Saviour  and  to  become 
His  real  disciples,  and  to  found  and 
build  up  the  Church  so  that  it  may  be¬ 
come,  as  soon  as  possible,  self-propa¬ 
gating,,  self-supporting  and  self-govern¬ 
ing.  Dominated  by  this  compelling  mo¬ 
tive,  the  professional  aspects  of  one’s 
work  become  secondary — not  unimpor¬ 
tant — ^but  simply  the  means  to  the  great 
end.  Moved  by  this  conception,  the 
missionary  candidate  does  not  ask 
whether  doctors,  preachers,  agricultur¬ 
ists,  nurses,  teachers,  etc.,  are  needed ; 
his  position  is :  I  believe  it  to  be  God’s 
will  that  I  take  Christ  to  non-Christian 
people  and  build  up  His  Church.  What 
can  I  do  which  will  facilitate  and  make 
most  effective  my  great  objective?  If 
I  am  to  become  a  doctor,  I  will  prepare 
to  be  the  best  doctor  which  it  is  possi¬ 
ble  for  me  to  be.  If  a  teacher,  I  will 
leave  nothing  out  of  my  preparation 
which  will  increase  my  efficiency  as  a 
teacher.  If  my  purpose  can  best  be  ful¬ 
filled  by  showing  people  how  to  im¬ 
prove  their  agricultural  methods  or  by 
leading  them  in  their  industrial  pur¬ 
suits,  then  I  will  take  the  preparation 
which  is  required  for  this  form  of  serv¬ 
ice.  If  it  is  as  an  evangelistic  worker, 
then  I  will  make  the  preparation  which 
will  fit  me  best  to  do  the  work  of  an 
evangelist. 

A  study  of  the  lives  of  the  mission

aries  through  whose  labors  men  and 
women  in  non-Christian  lands  have  be¬ 
come  the  disciples  of  Jesus  Christ,  and 
churches  have  been  founded  and  devel¬ 
oped,  hospitals  established,  schools  or¬ 
ganized,  and  Christian  communities 
come  into  existence,  show  that  they 
were  dominated.hy  the  consciousness  of 
the  mission  to  make  Jesus  Christ 
known  to  the  people  as  their  Saviour, 
and  jto  lead  them  to  become  His  true 
disciples.  David  Livingstone  decided 
lirst  to  become  a  missionary,  lie  stu¬ 
died  medicine  because  he  believed  that 
through  this  profession  he  could  most 
effectually  accomplish  his  purpose. 
Bishop  Alfred  Robert  Tucker  was  at 
the  beginning  of  his  career  an  artist  of 
great  promise ;  one  day  as  he  painted  a 
picture  ,of  a  homeless,  lost  woman,  he 
cried  out :  '‘God  help  me,  why  don’t  I 
go  to  lost  people  themselves  instead  of 
painting  pictures  of  them.”  So,  moved 
l)y  the  desire  to  go,  as  he  expressed  it, 
“to  that  part  of  the  world  where  men 
and  women  seem  to  be  most  lost,”  he 
[)repared  himself  to  do  the.  work  of  an 
ordained  missionary,  went  to  East  Af¬ 
rica  and  preached  Christ  to  the  people 
of  Uganda. 

For  the  majority  of  those  who  decide 
to  become  foreign  missionaries,  no 
change  of  profession  is  necessary.  If 
a  man  has  decided  to  enter  the  Chris¬ 
tian  ministry,  he  will  add  to  his  prepar¬ 
ation  for  the  ministry  the  special  prep¬ 
aration  which  is  necessary  for  the  or¬ 
dained  foreign  missionary.  If  he  ex- 
])ects  to  become  a  physician,  he  will 
add  to  the  studies  required  of  the 
doctor  in  the  homeland  any  additional 
studies  which  may  be  necessary  in  the 
])reparation  of  the  medical  missionary. 
However,  if  the  missionary  candidate 


finds  that  the  profession  for  which  he 
is  preparing  is  not  such  as  will  enable' 
him  most  efficiently  to  follow  the  vo¬ 
cation  ofi  a  foreign  missionary,  he  will 
not  hesitate  to  change  his  course  of 
study.  I  have  known  young  men  look¬ 
ing  forward  to  professions  such  as  sci- 
entihe  agriculture,  engineering  in  its 
different  branches,  architecture,  etc., 
who  have  turned  aside  from  these  use¬ 
ful  callings  to  prepare  as  ordained 
evangelistic  missionaries,  as  teachers  or 
as  doctors  because  the  training  in  these 
professions  better  htted  them  for  the 
vocation  of  foreign  missionaries.  When 
dominated  by  the  motive  which  ought 
to  cause  men  to  dedicate  their  lives  to 
foreign  missionary  service,  they  will 
not  hesitate  to  change  their  courses 
whenever  such  changes  will  better  fit 
them  to  do  the  work  which  they  go  out 
to  do. 

Men  and  women  who  feel  that  they 
should  go  as  missionaries  are  not 
excused  from  their  missionary  respon¬ 
sibility  because  they  distrust  their  abil¬ 
ities  or  have  not  had  all  the  ideal 
training.  No  matter  how  humble  an 
opinion  they  may  have  of  themselves, 
they  should  frankly  face  their  mission¬ 
ary  duty  and  not  regard  the  question 
closed  until  they  have  conferred  with  a 
sympathetic  Board  secretary.  The  de¬ 
sire  to  become  a  missionary  creates  the 
obligat  on  to  secure  the  training  neces¬ 
sary  for  efficient  service  on  the  mission 
held. 

If  circumstances  make  it  impossil)le 
for  missionary  candidates  to  take  addi¬ 
tional  preparation,  they  should  apply  to 
their  foreign  mission  Boards,  and  if  the 
Boards  hnd  it  possible  to  accept  them, 
go  to  the  mission  held  with  such  prep¬ 
aration  as  they  have.  Men  of  a  wide 


44  WHO  IS  QUALIFIED  TO  PREPARE  FOR  FOREIGN  MISSIONARY  SERVICE? 


variety  of  training  and  talents,  im¬ 
pelled  by  the  motive  which  we  have  de¬ 
scribed,  have  on  the  mission  field  un¬ 
limited  scope  for  the  use  of  these  tal¬ 
ents  in  their  vocation  as  missionaries. 
Alexander  Mackay  was  trained  in  Ed¬ 
inburgh  University  as  a  mechanical  en¬ 
gineer.  A  few  years  after  graduation, 
he  was  led  to  offer  himself  to  a  mission¬ 
ary  society  for  service  in  Africa.  No 
doubt  his  training  as  a  mechanical  en¬ 
gineer  was  an  important  factor  in  the 
Board’s  decision  to  accept  him,  but 
Alexander  Mackay  did  not  go  to  Africa 
to  practise  his  profession  as  a  mechani¬ 
cal  engineer.  He  went  to  Africa  be¬ 
cause  of  his  desire  to  preach  Jesus 
Christ  to  the  people  of  Uganda.  His 
training  as  an  engineer  was  not  lost. 
He  made  use  of  it  day  after  day,  but 
it  was  secondary  to  the  great  compelling 
objective  which  led  him  to  give  3^ears 
of  painful  self-sacrificing  effort  to  the 
people  among  whom  he  labored. 

Furthermore,  the  missionary  candi¬ 
date  who  goes  to  the  field  actuated  by 
this  motive  is  not  disturbed  if  on  ac¬ 
count  of  changes  in  conditions  his  own 
work  must  be  different  from  that  which 
he  expected  it  would  be.  Since  his  vo¬ 
cation  is  that  of  a  missionary,  the  kind 
of  work  which  he  is  to  do  is  of  second¬ 
ary  importance.  He  is  ready  not  only 
to  “become  all  things  to  all  men  that  he 
may  by  all  means  save  some,”  but  he  is 
ready  to  undertake  any  kind  of  service 
which  may  be  necessary.  Arthur  Jack- 
son,  a  Cambridge  man,  went  to  Man¬ 
churia  to  become  a  professor  in  a 
medical  school.  He  had  been  there  only 
a  few  weeks  when  the  ravages  of  the 
Plague  called  for  someone  to  do  inspec¬ 
tion  duty  at  a  railway  station.  In  the 
spirit  of  Christ,  Jackson  responded  to 


this  call.  He  could  have  justified  a 
negative  response  on  the  ground  that 
he  went  out  to  work  as  a  professor  in 
a  college,  but  the  motive  which  domi¬ 
nated  Jackson  made  the  work  of  in¬ 
specting  the  coolies  from  the  plague 
district  as  genuinely  missionary  work 
as  that  of  lecturing  to  students  at  the 
college. 

Some  years  ago  a  medical  graduate 
applied  to  his  Board  for  appointment 
as  a  medical  missionary.  The  financial 
position  of  the  Board  was  such  that  a 
medical  missionary  could  not  be  ap¬ 
pointed.  The  only  opening  was  for  a 
teacher  of  English  in  a  Government 
school  in  a  small  city  in  Japan.  He 
might  have  declined  to  go  to  Japan  on 
the  ground  that  he  had  prepared  as  a 
medica'l  missionary.  However,  his 
primary  motive  was  to  preach  Jesus 
Christ,  so  he  went  to  Japan  and  worked 
as  a  teacher  of  English  in  the  Govern¬ 
ment  school  because  this  work  afforded 
that  opportunity.  Through  his  work 
and  influence  a  small  group  of  Japan¬ 
ese  young  men  accepted  Christ,  and 
have  since  become  the  leaders  of  the 
Church  in  their  Province.  The  ques¬ 
tion  may  be  raised :  Did  not  this  man 
make  a  mistake  in  turning  aside  from 
his  profession  as  a  medical  missionary? 
So  far  as  he  was  concerned,  there  is 
but  one  answer.  Fie  had  dedicated  his 
life  to  the  task  of  making  Jesus  Christ 
known  to  non-Christian  peoples.  The 
way  to  go  as  a  medical  missionary  was 
closed.  The  teaching  of  English  in  a 
Government  school  afforded  the  oppor¬ 
tunity  to  enter  upon  his  vocation  as  a 
missionary,  and  he  took  advantage  of  it. 

The  candidate  must  place  the  empha¬ 
sis  where  it  belongs:  on  the  objective, 
the  end  to  be  accomplished.  Then  the 


WHO  IS  QUALIFIED  TO  PREPARE  FOR  FOREIGN  MISSIONARY  SERVICE?  45 


important  question  of  professional 
qualifications  and  training  will  fall  in¬ 
to  its  rightful  place.  Every  fonii  of 
service  is  needed  and  is  effective,  pro¬ 
vided  it  is  rightly  related  to  the  primary 
aim.  And  the  missionary  candidate 
must  make  the  preparation  which  ex¬ 
perience  proves  necessary.  In  his 
eagerness  to  prepare  for  his  profession, 
he  must  not  lose  sight  of  his  vocation. 
This  objective  kept  constantly  in  view 
will  be  to  the  missionary  candidate  the 


greatest  inspiration  to  secure  the  prep¬ 
aration  which  is  necessary ;  for  he 
knows  that  God  does  not  approve  care¬ 
lessly  prepared  workers  or  slipshod 
workmanship.  It  will  also  lead  to  the 
best  work  and  the  greatest  results  on 
the  field,  for  unless  men  go  to  the  mis¬ 
sion  field  with  the  right  motive,  it  is 
impossible  for  Jesus  Christ  to  work  in 
and  through  them,  and  unless  He  do 
this,  there  can  be  no  results  of  an  abid¬ 
ing  character.

BOOKS  OF  SPECIAL  VALUE  TO  STUDENT 

VOLUNTEERS 


THE  FOREIGN  MISSIONARY:  AN  INCARNATION  OF  A  WORLD  MOVE- 
MENT.  By  A.  J.  Brown.  12mo,  400  pp.;  limp  cloth,  68  cents  ;  cloth  boards,  $1.50. 

Out  of  a  long  and  intimate  experience  the  author  deals  with  such  questions  as  these : 
Who  is  the  Missionary?  What  are  his  motives,  aims,  and  methods?  What  are  his  difficul¬ 
ties  and  what  the  results  of  his  work?  How  are  the  Mission  Boards  conducted?  The  volume 
is  full  of  information  which  no  one  interested  in  the  missionary  problem,  and  certainly  no 
Student  Volunteer,  should  fail  to  study. 

THE  THIRD  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  MISSIONARY  PREPARATION. 
A  pamphlet  of  200  pages,  bound  in  paper;  25  cents. 

This  pamphlet  contains  articles  on  the  preparation  of  missionaries,  of  unusual  value  to 
Student  Volunteers,  as  follows: 

On  the  Preparation  of  Ordained  Missionaries,  prepared  by  Dr.  Robert  E.  Speer; 

*On  the  Preparation  of  Educational  Missionaries,  prepared  by  Dr.  T.  H.  P.  Sailer ; 

On  the  Preparation  of  Medical  Missionaries  and  Nurses,  prepared  by  Dr.  F.  P.  Haggard ; 
On  the  Preparation  of  Women  for  Foreign  Missionary  Service,  prepared  by  Miss 
Helen  B.  Calder ; 

On  the  Facilities  for  Training  Missionaries,  prepared  by  Dr.  James  L.  Barton; 

On  the  Furloughs  of  Missionaries,  prepared  by  Dr.  Charles  R.  Watson; 

A  list  of  books  for  missionary  candidates  prepared  by  Dr.  W,  I.  Chamberlain. 

CALL,  QUALIFICATIONS,  AND  PREPARATION  OF  CANDIDATES  FOR 
MISSIONARY  SERVICE.  Papers  by  missionaries  and  other  authorities.  Of 
special  value  to  missionary  candidates.  12mo,  248  pp.;  paper,  35  cents;  cloith,  50 
cents.  ' 

This  is  not  a  systematic  treatise  on  the  call,  qualifications,  and  preparation  of  candidates 
for  foreign  missionary  service.  It  is  simply  a  collection  of  papers  prepared  for  periodicals 
and  magazines,  and  for  the  conventions  of  the  Student  Volunteer  Movement  by  such  authors 
as  Mr.  Robert  E.  Speer,  Dr.  Jacob  Chamberlain,  Dr.  Henry  Jessup,  Mr.  Eugene  Stock, 
Bishop  Thoburn,  Prof.  Harlan  P.  Beach,  Dr.  Gulick,  Archdeacon  Moule  and  others. — The 
Missionary  Review^ 

THE  EVANGELIZATION  OF  THE  WORLD  IN  THIS  GENERATION.  By 
John  R.  Mott.  Bibliography,  analytical  index.  12mo,  245  pp. ;  paper,  35  cents; 
cloth,  decorated,  gilt  top,  $1.00. 

It  is  doubtful  whether  any  missionary  volume  hitherto  published  can  compare  with  it 
in  strength  of  argument  and  m  prophetic  vision.  It  is  stimulating,  lucid,  and  convincing, 
addressing  itself  not  to  the  emotions,  but  to  the  judgment;  yet  it  is  so  spiritual  in  tone  and 
purpose  that  it  encourages  and  inspires  the  reader.  No  prospective  leader  of  public  sentiment 
in  Church  or  State  can  afford  to  lose  this  course  of  study.— Sunday  School  Times. 

NEW  TESTAMENT  STUDIES  IN  MISSIONS.  Being  outline  studies  covering  the 
missionary  teachings  of  the  Four  Gospels,  the  Acts  and  the  Pauline  Epistles.  By 
Harlan  P.  Beach.  12mo,  80  pp.;  interleaved  for  additional  references  and  M.S. 
notes,  outline  map;  paper,  15  cents. 

An  intelligent  use  of  this  book  cannot  fail  to  deepen  interest  in  missions,  and  lead  to 
efficient  methods  of  work.— Nm  York  Observer. 

It  is  full  of  good  things  for  those  who  use  it  wisely.— Journal  and  Messenger. 

STUDENTS  AND  THE  WORLD-WIDE  EXPANSION  OF  CHRISTIANITY. 
The  Report  of  the  Seventh  International  Convention,  Kansas  City,  1914.  Cloth, 
$1.85. 

“Teachers  and  missionary  speakers  will  find  that  this  book  is^an  almost  complete  and 
perfect  compendium  of  foreign  missions.  Thousands  of  addresses  in  all  parts  of  the  world 
will  find  their  inspiration  and  their  information  in  this  record  of  a  missionary  conference. 
And  thousands  of  men  and  women  who  give,,  pray  and  wait  will  find  in  this  book  the  latest 
results  of  what  we  might  call  a  great  world-wide  missionary  stock-taking.” — Toronto  Globe. 

DECISION  OF  CHARACTER.  By  John  Foster.  (With  introductory  note  by  John 
R.  Mott.)  12mo,  64  pp.;  paper,  25  cents;  cloth,  50  cents. 

In  his  introductory  note  Mr.  Mott  says:  “While  an  undergraduate  I  made  a  careful 
study  of  this  remarkably  helpful  essay.  Since  then  I  have  re-read  it  many  times,  and  have 
no  hesitation  in  saying  that  it  has  exerted  a  greater  influence  on  my  mental  habits  than  any¬ 
thing  else  I  have  ever  read  or  heard.  As  this  paper  is  being  recommended  constantly  to 
students,  its  publication  in  this  convenient  form  by  the  Student  Volunteer  Movement  is 
welcomed  most  heartily.”

tury  of  the  Qiristian  era  and  after  more  than  a  century  of  Protestant  world-wide  missions, 
there  are  still  a  score  of  wholly  unoccupied  fields  and  many  sections  of  fields  where  the 
obstacles  and  barriers  seem  well  nigh  insuperable,  but  where  the  moral  degradation  and 
spiritual  destitution  of  the  peoples  and  strategy  involved  in  the  occupation  of  these  fields 
call  for  heroic,  persevering,  pioneer  efforts  on  wise  lines,  with  the  sure  purpose  of  ultimate 
success.” — New  York  Evening  Post.
